Erika Kirk may not have always been as saintlike as she now seems.
In a recently resurfaced video that appears to be her audition tape for The Amazing Race, a 25-year-old Erika (who went by her maiden name, Erike Frantzve, at the time) appears alongside then-boyfriend JT Massey and talks more about their relationship.
As Charlie Kirk’s widow, now 37, went to fix Massey’s V-neck T-shirt, she pulled it down and said, “You look really handsome.”
Massey, who played minor league baseball at the time, told the future Turning Point USA CEO that she looked “gorgeous” before pointing out that she was pulling his shirt down quite far.

“Baby, that’s deep in there. Give ‘em cleavage. People want cleavage? Showcase it,” he said, to which Erika replied: “Sex sells, babe.”
She then seemingly whispered, “Even though it’s against our religion.”
X users had a lot to say about the video, with many commenting on how Erika appeared thirsty for fame.
“Something has felt off with her for quite awhile…” one person wrote, while another said: “She’s been trying to find fame for years and finally got it.”
Others pointed out how people can change from the person they were in their 20s.

Erika’s behavior appears to contrast how she speaks and acts following the death of her late husband, who was killed in broad daylight at age 31 on September 10, 2025, while speaking at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, as part of his American Comeback Tour.
At the Turning Point USA Make Heaven Crowded tour in California on Thursday, the mother of two revealed that when she and Charlie were married in May 2021, they “wanted to be very intentional about how the Lord would use our marriage,” so they “wrote down goals for our marriage,” one of which was to “spread the gospel.”
As previously reported, Erika has now formally requested a speedy trial in the case against Tyler James Robinson, who is accused of killing her husband. The 22-year-old made his first in-person court appearance on December 11, but he has not yet entered a plea.
